Removing your self from a organization that you had 60 percent of your exports is a recipe for disaster economically .
Also there is a risk for human rights in the UK from brexit
Congratulations on your retirement .
I think you could be considered rich in Thailand with a income of two and a half million baht per year when many Thais consider them selves well off with one hundred and fifty thousand baht per year .
Yes, you are 100 percent correct . Take bringing a Thai citizen to Europe and see the hurdles you must go through to achieve that result. Why ? Because so many have abused the regulations over the years .
All rather unusual for a naval vessel fall foul to bad weather .
Not unheard of when sails were used for naval power .
I just hope they find the 31 sailors missing .
Suppression of a conviction to the public you say.
I would prefer to believe that there has not been a successful prosecution on receiving money for a foreigner obtaining a extension of stay without meeting the financial requirements.
You need a job with the Thai prosecution put your ideas into action .
If you manage to bribe your way into a position then proton will become extinct.
Then show us a conviction.
I have only lived here 8 years and have not seen anything in the news about a successful prosecution or been charged of a Thai immigration official for helping a foreigner gain staying permission.
It will not happen anytime soon either.
There is no fact in that the help given is illegal or corrupt.
There is no pretending needed.
Please show show us all where there has been a conviction for bribery concerning extension in the past.
When you move a fence on property and nobody objects the land can be one your own .
Same applies with the extensions.
Robbery and murder accepted practices ???
Poor argument.
Agents helping foreigners regarding financial requirements has been going on for at least 20 years.
There are dodgy operators in every profession.
To say the help foreigners get from having a lack of funds to stay ln Thailand appears to be an accepted practice. To say that it is corruption is speculation .
Have a good day
